Sound not go through built-in speaker

I have a iPad3 and have a weird problem recently-as mentioned in title.
The speaker inbuilt works, but only in two situations:when I am using Skype and force it in speaker mode(default to headphone);and I go to settings/sounds to change the volume of ringer and alerts, the sample sounds will play thru speaker. For the rest, it is stuck in headphone mode that I got no way to get out.
The mini jack sensor seems normal cuz when I plug or unplug the earphones, the volume will change accordingly itself to protect hearing.
I am quite sure it is not mused, and have updated iOS and reset all settings, cleaned dock port etc, still got no luck. Any help will be appreciated !

Try doing a reset on your ipad,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Should the iPhone 4S play music through built-in speaker?

I have a new iPhone 4S. I just got it loaded with my music. I noticed that there is no sound through the built-in speakers when playing music. However, with headphones plugged in, I can hear music through them just fine. The mute switch is in the up position. My older iPod Touch would play through the built-in speaker if there was nothing plugged in to the headphone jack. Should the iPhone 4S do the same? If so, how can I get that working? If not, will someone please just tell me that so it doesn't drive me slowly nuts thinking there's a problem with the device?
TIA!

I took the phone to an Apple store. Come to find out that due to some corrosion on the dock contacts, the phone thought it was in a dock. The tech was unable to repair it, so they had to replace it.
NOTE: I had to backup to the iCloud first, to make sure all my apps and settings, etc wre available to the replacement. Upon restore to the new phone, the following issues surfaced:
1) none of my original "imported" music restored. Only the music I'd purchased through iTunes. Fortunately, I have it on mt PC backup.
2) most of my books were "corrupted" upon restore. I tried to work with the Apple tech for days on this issue. Finally, I deleted my bookshelf and re-downloaded it, at which time I was able to sync the books between mt iPad and iPhone.
Watch out, because the Cloud still has reliability and functionality issues.
Anyway, the original issue that made me start this thread has been resolved.

Sound not playing through any device.

Sound will not play through any device I try. I tired re installing all the drivers messing around with the playback device
and sound mixer and tried going through the audio jack in the back the headphone jack in the front hdmi to my tv and usb wireless headset none of them worked. and tried them all on with something other than my pc and the devices themselves work. i honestly
dont know what else to try is it something with windows or maybe my graphics card or something else? please help.

Hi Kevinwido,
When did this issue occur ?Have you made any modifications to the machine ? Will the built-in sound device work ?Have you tried to update the motherboard from the manufacturer website to have a check ?
You may need to download the sound card driver from the manufacturer for the sound devices to have a check.
If only the outer device won`t work and both of them are USB devices ,it is recommended to reinstall the USB controller driver, too .
If the issue occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point to have a check. Please note we will miss some configurations after the restore point .
Best regards

Sound not coming through from recorder

*HELP*
When I transfer movies through Pyro A/V link from my recorder, the sound is not coming through.
The video jack and the sound jacks are both plugged in from the same source. Any suggestions!!!

It could be that your recording is in MPEG-2 format, which seems to be common among hard drive camcorders, and you require the MPEG-2 codec (available from the Apple Store).

Sound not playing through internal speakers or headphones

Okay, so I am wanting to listen to audio, but it is not working through my speakers or headphones. Last time that this happened, I know that it had something to do with airplay, since I remember doing something with airplay. I have no idea what is causing this this time, but if you need any additional details, just ask.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

Sound not playing through speaker or headphones

Hi all
My iPhone 4 has developed a problem - I get no sound at all, not through the speakers, or by plugging in the headphones.
No app sounds, no key sounds, no phone call sounds - nothing!
I've tried cleaning all the fluff out of the headphone jack and the dock connector, I've also tried a full restore.
One other odd thing that happens is that if I open the Music app, it has now started cycling forward through the track listing by itself
Any ideas?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the phone, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, to rule out a software issue.
If still no sound, you might have a hardware problem, and the phone needs to be serviced.

Sound not coming through HD Tv

Hi I have a p6047uk desktop and a Philips 5000 series hdtv.
I connected them via hdmi cable, i get the picture but dont get sound.
I have been through all the settings through the control panel and set to hdmi output but still get no sound through.
Can anyone help as this has stumped me and hp was no use either, i am quite an advanced pc user and have tried about everything i can think of.

Hi spimz,
When you say you made the changes in Control Panel, did you do what is listed in Step 3 of this HP Support doc on resolving sound issues?
In addition to changing the Vista Sound settings, you may need to make the changes in the Realtek Sound Manager. To do this, double-click the Realtek Sound Manager icon that is in the system tray/notification area next to the clock. Go into the Digital Output tab/screen and make sure the proper defaults are set, you may also want to make sure the jack detect feature is working correctly.
Also one more thing to consider, do you have any other audio device/cable plugged in to the PC, including headphones? The PC will generally only push sound out of one jack at a time.
Let us know if this helps.

IMac 20" Aluminium sound not working through headphones on Windows 7 32bit

Okay, so here's my problem. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit and after installing boot camp and all the updates and stuff my audio didn't work. So, I went to realtek and downloaded the driver that people said to. When I installed it normally, it didn't help at all, and when I installed it in compatibility mode with Vista sp2, the audio works only on the speakers on my iMac. My headphone jack does nothing, even when there is something plugged into it the sound still comes out of the iMac speakers. Although through the tray icon, the iMac can seem to tell when something gets plugged in or gets unplugged. So that's my problem and if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.

Unfortunately it's a common problems on the 2008's Imac 20. Here is another discussion about it http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10379761 Looks thata the problem is a bug in bootcamp 3.0....the only way to solve it it's waiting that Apple will fix it with a patch or revert back to Vista.

Sound not working through my tv

Welcome to the Apple Community psalay.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6.    Restart your mobile device.

Sound not activating for all 5 speake

I followed the directions in this thread:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=2563
but when I'm doing the "test speakers" on the Creative Sound Mixer, I'm only hearing "front left" and "front right". I see the other speakers highlight during the test, but no results.
I have the Sound Blaster Li've LS card, and Creative Labs 5. 560 speaker system.

Never mind. I think it fixed when I unchecked the box that referred to the controll panel, or it was just the act of rebooting. It's all good.

Sound Not Coming Through Speakers

I'm trying to watch a video on a Youtube style website, but the sound isn't coming through my external speakers, it's coming through the internal one in my tower. All other sounds (iTunes, Quicktime, etc) come through fine. I experienced this problem a long time ago, and it was eventually solved, though I don't remember what I did (or if I did anything at all). So far I've restarted the computer and made sure the correct speakers were selected in the system preferences. Where should I go from here?
Thanks

The audio hardware can be set to various sample rates. There are several ways applications can deal with this:
A) output sound at whatever the sample rate setting is.
B) produce no output if it can't handle the current setting.
C) change the setting to something that will work, but reset it to the original when finished.
D) change the setting, and don't reset it when finished.
Type A and C applications won't cause problems, but if you use a type D application that uses an unusual setting, followed by a type B that can't use that setting, you will get no sound. Garage Band is a type D application that uses normal sample rate, and running it will often fix sound problems, but the Audio MIDI Setup Utility gives more control.

Radio sound not coming through - Nokia 6120

Yes, I have checked other topics before posting and yes I have the headset plugged in.
I am angry! The scroll buttons wont change the frequency. I did it manually then chose the listen option and no sound! What am I doing wrong?

It could be that your recording is in MPEG-2 format, which seems to be common among hard drive camcorders, and you require the MPEG-2 codec (available from the Apple Store).

Sound not comming through both side of my earbuds

This is driving me crazy I cant hear in both earbuds. At first I thought it was just something wrong with the earbuds so i bought some more and i am still having the same problem. I did a reset on my ipod and that didnt work. I dont know what to do.

Did you try a different set of headphones with the laptop? Once headphones stop working, often times you can only hear sound from one side.

Sound not playing through iPhone 4s speakers in Music - the volume bar doesn't show up.

When I want to listen to music without headphones, the music doesn't play because the volume bar is absent. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Lock and Home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds or until the phone restarts and you see the Apple logo.

HT4528 Sound from the built-in speaker badly cracks and breaks

Hi, I need a help on trying to figure out what's wrong with my iPhone 4..
I've had my iPhone for about a year, without any major issue. But recently I noticed that the sound coming from the built-in speaker cracks and breaks to a point it barely makes any proper sound. The weird thing is that this happens only for alarm, text/phone ringtones, and during calls when I try to use the speaker.
At first I suspected it was the hardware issue, but when I play music it works just fine. I tried restoring the phone, but that didn't fix the problem.
I'm thinking about taking it to Apple store or Verizon, but my Apple warranty seems to have expired and I don't know what Verizon can do to help. I should still have the protection plan through Verizon, but it doesn't cover much.
